ART NIGHT PASADENA, the twice-a-year FREE extravaganza, is Friday March 9, 2018

.
.
Here's a short 'n sweet, single-item edition. Sure, there are wonderful shows Friday and/or Saturday at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, McCabe's, the Arcadia Blues Club, Hotel Cafe, Boulevard Music (Culver City), the Folk Music Center (Claremont), and at some of the big performing arts centers, and at lotsa other fun places... but all of those concerts cost. ArtNight Pasadena has a proven track record, and it's FREE, with FREE shuttles connecting its many venues.

Here's the scoop, the whole enchilada, the main course, and uhh, the... info...

Fri, Mar 9, FREE FESTIVAL:
6-10 pm Twice-Annual "ART NIGHT PASADENA" Winter/Spring 2018 edition, is at NINETEEN primary venues and MORE makeshift/temporary exhibition / performance site / temporary venues, all over Pasadena, CA.
* FREE admission and FREE shuttles among/between all events.
* All-ages; some venues are kid-and/or-teen oriented, but MOST -- including the top museums and galleries displaying fine art -- are very much for grownup tastes and sensibilities.
* Where to start? We recommend THREE places to launch yourself, ALL with live music: (1) where the "Meet-Up" group is beginning at 5:30 pm, is the Courtyard at Pasadena City Hall, 100 N Garfield Av. Good place, because some events are easy walking distance from City Hall; (2) another good starting place is Armory for the Arts, across from the Metro Gold Line light rail's Memorial Park Station -- which means you can ride the train to town, save the parking hunt, and start just diagonally across the park and across the street at that delightful venue and its shuttle stop station; or, (3) the main Pasadena City Library always has multiple events happening simultaneously, including live acoustic music in the courtyard -- it's walkable from City Hall if you don't mind a bit of hoofing, or you can just start there (though parking issues suggest you catch the free shuttle there if you're starting at the library).
* Most of the truly wonderful venues have admission fees any other time, and few of the world-calls galleries and museums are even open at night. But on ArtNight there's no charge at all. And we're talking places like the world-famous Norton Simon, which house art by renaissance masters, and even medieval and ancient Egyptian and ancient Greek art works!
* One quote from a regular participant is a fair summation: "We all like to have an evening out of Art and Culture. ArtNight is that on steroids. Instead of one location, or one event event or institution, a whole city of art opens before you. And it's all free and even ticket-less!"
* Yeppers! The 19 primary venues include everything from world-class museums to music performances in many genres -- including acoustic -- this is a don't-miss event. If you've gone before, you know you can only get to a few of the things you want to see. So go again and pick-up where you left-off.
* The adventurous can just leap-in and find delights. Buuuut... perusing the schedule in advance is the best way to avoid missing what you will most want to see. If you wait 'til you're at the event, and start planning when you pick-up the free map and schedule, you'll waste valuable time sorting yourself out.

♪ The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE endeavors to bring you NEWS – and views of interest to artists everywhere – more specifically to musicians and the creative community and music makers and fans of acoustic and Folk-Americana music. That includes both traditional and innovative forms. From the deepest roots to today’s acoustic renaissance, that’s our beat. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues (now undergoing a major update), and inside info on FESTIVALS and select performances in Southern California in venues from the monumentally large to the intimately small and cozy. We cover workshops, conferences, and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kinds o’ things in the world of acoustic and Americana and accessible classical music. From washtub bass to musical spoons to oboe to viola to banjo to squeezebox, from Djangostyle to new-fangled-old-time string band music, from sweet Cajun fiddle to bluegrass and pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to all the swamp water roots of the blues and the bright lights of where the music is headed now.
